Distance is assumed to serve as a proxy

for both the psychic costs of movement and the availability of

information.

Also, migration studies find income at the point of

origin to be negatively related to the propensity to migrate and

income at the point of destination is positively related.

Limitations of the Study

Given the magnitude of the problem and complexity of the issues
involved it would be difficult to cover all the aspects emerging
out of the si tua t i on.

Following critical limitations of the

study are to be borne in mind :
a.

Limited availability of time and resources.

b.

Th i s

study is proposed to be micro-level, area-specific and

occupation-speci fi c.

Hence it need not be representative of

other areas and occupations existing under different conditions.

c.
